This research aims to propose a simple model for the dynamics of structures embedded with particle
dampers (PDs) and to suggest a framework for optimizing such two-phase (solid-powder) structures
Methyl cellulose (MC) is a unique material that displays a liquid-solid phase transition when heated. Methyl cellulose is a biocompatible material and it is FDA approved. The manufacturing process of the gel is cheap and it is widely used in...
Theoretical characterization and control of transient, resonant responses of many real mechanical systems encounter significant challenges due to their essential nonlinearity. Strong nonlinearity manifests in systems with intermittently interacting components such as granular materials, structures with breathing cracks, interlocking materials,...
The thermodynamic properties of fluids play a crucial role in many engineering applications, particularly in the context of energy. In this work, we suggest creating fluids with multistable thermodynamic properties in order to offer new paths for harvesting and storing...
